2007: Two Break-Up Songs
Ukrainian drag queen Verka Serduchka sang in a mix of English, German and a made-up language. In some places it sounded like she was singing “Russia goodbye”. In fact she was singing “Lasha Tumbai” and the song won her second place.

After the dissolution of Serbia and Montenegro, both countries now competed separately for the first time. Maria Šerifović won the ESC for Serbia—with a song about a breakup.
